Zoom my camera isnt an olympus FE - 230 digital camera, its a kodak M836, i can look at my pictures okay, but i cant take any, as when i turn it on to take a picture the lens goes out, and then back it and it switches off. it is nothing to do with the battery as i have charged it several times. - my dad thinks that it goes back in because there is some sand inside (as we recently went on a beach holiday) and that the sand is stopping the zoom from coming out all the way, so it goes back in, alth

TIPS:1.)NEVER PUSH THE LENS IN AFTER CAMERA DIES, BUY A NEW BATTERY IMMEDIATLY AND TURN IT BACK ON, CLOSING THE LENS!2.)NEVER USE AN AC ADAPTER, USE A RECHARGEABLE BATTERY OR A REGULAR BATTERY!..to fix this... ...
Olympus FE-230 Digital Camera

I have just got back from holiday where I took 325pics. Earlier today I was able to see them on screen but had not yet downloaded as I was going to take to a store to print out tomorrow. Now when I switch the camera on it gives me 2 options - Card Setup either power off or format. I don't want to press yes and delete the pics but if I press no the only other option it takes me back to is to power off. At this time i can't take any photos either.

Whatever you do DO NOT FORMAT the card. Take it in to a CAMERA shop, not walmart or drugstore, They can probably remove the card and print from that. Sounds likeyour card is full. They can then put all your pics on a CD and you can then reformat th ...

Hi there, My laptop is suddenly unable to detect the camera, canon lxus 90ls, I have reinstalled the software and also tried a different lead but to no avail. The camera does know the lead is in place as the lens remains stationery when switched on, however I only see the last picture taken on the screen, not the pc connect sign. I have tried going through start/programmes/ window (s) etc, but it is saying the camera is not there. I am totally at a loss. Thankyou.

I bought a kodak easy share in Feb. I took it back to Best Buy they changed the battery. It still will not take a charge and we replaced the battery from the Best Buy store. Since I have only had it 8 months they suggest I contact you. They couldn't fix it. Also, I purchased a Kodak Play video camera in July, from Best Buy. It will not take a charge either. They checked the batteries but not the problem. Please help me. I bought these items to take pictures of my new grandbaby and I am

I have an SL620 Samsung Digital camera, when I try to take pictures I can't due to it saying card locked. I have taken the memory card out, re-charged, cleaned and looked at the manual for this camera. I can not find anything on how to deactivate this. I do not have a switch next to my camera or memory chip to switch over. I read the suggestion on flipping the switch I do not have one. I have no switch on any part of my camera just all the buttons for mamory etc. please help I am very frustrated

Look at the memory card itself. SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card. If the switch is already in the proper ...

The problem is\015\0121- some dirt somehow got on the outside of the lense. After it was retracted fully in, it prevents the camera from opening again. When you turn it on, if it opens a little bit, try to pull it out NOT too hard and let go ...

Please Help I took these pictures with my camera for work, but I forgot to put my SD card in. The pictures are on my camera, but I can't get them on the computer with the cameara cord.The camera doesn't even recognize the removable disk drive on either one of my computers. Its Easter Sunday, no specialty camera stores are open and I have to have these pictures in by tomorrow morning.

Camera jam Ricoh Caplio R5 - tried to switch it on to take a picture, and lens came out part way but the camera then switched off. Flat battery perhaps, so charged battery overnight and tried again with similar results. Lens still part way out, maybe some whirring noises, screen flashes but then camera switches off.
Any ideas? Dead battery / broken charger? - or problem with camera? And how to check (I only have the one battery)

All the R series Ricohs have a pretty complicated lens system employing 2 swing-out lenses which can get stuck pretty easily, or worse, broken. If you are very good at taking things to bits you might have a go at fixing it (I've done several that wer ...

Power/lens Problems I'm having some power/lens problems with my camera. When I turn on the power in either the picture or video mode, the green light will turn on for a split second then turn off. The lens does not come out at all. However, when I try to turn it on with the picture viewer or in the menu it works just fine. When I start with the picture viewer and then switch to the camera it turns off. Thus it seems that whenever I want to take a picture or a movie the camera doesn't work.

It seems that the lense movement is jammed. Have you dropped the camera? just have a close look from the front side of the camera, does the lense assembly seems to be pressed or moved aside by some extra preassure? if no physical disalingment is vi ...

When activating the slide on-off switch the camera comes on but only a portion of the "info screen" can be seen, either the top half or bottom half; but you cannot make out enough of the writng to use the camera and it has stopped taking pictures. I have a second camera I checked today that continues to take pictures but the info screen is getting blurry and difficult to read. Help please?? Does anyone know where to send the cameras for

Pictures are not loaded to my Mac/PC
I am unable to load the pictures from the memory card my new TZ10. I have loaded pictures from the card once and then all functioned well on my Powerbook. This time I have tried both Mac and PC with no luck on either of them. All the pictures are visible on the cameras screen. And yes, the function wheel on top of the camera has been in the right position.

First of all, always remember to "eject" your equipment on a Mac and use "safely remove hardware" on a PC when you disconnect to avoid corrupting the camera. To avoid problems in the future, do what the pros do...use a separate card reader like the o ...

Olympus X-42 Camera - the screen has gone white (with a few thin green/purple vertical lines). When I switch on the camera the screen is white, there is no picture or menu displayed. I have checked by plugging it into the tv, and it takes pictures and goes into menus fine - it just doesn't display anything on camera screen. I have only had the camera for a week, and have not stored it anywhere humid. Is there anything I can do to fix, or do I just have to take it to get repaired?

There doesn't appear to be a solution. I have had to send mine off to be repaired. They don't provide a camera case but it is a very necessary piece of aquipment. I was told that the screen had been pressed. I can only think that this occured when tr ...

When I turn on the camera, it will AF once, then nothing. None of the menus will work, none of the functions work, cannot review pics. If I switch to manual and back to auto, it will AF once. I can take a picture in manual. As soon as I take a picture, I can use the menu or review pictures, but only once. Battery shows to be charged. I have taken it to 2 camera shops and they have no idea.

The problem is in the systems control board, "controls vital areas of the camera" from your description the operation is intermittent when switching from manual to auto, it indicates an hairline crack in the systems board, a tough problem to nail dow ...

My camera won't let me take any pictures or look at them. Everytime I turn it on it says memory card error, card locked. i've tried moving the locked switch on the side of the card up and down but that hasn't done anything. and i know it isnt my camera because i put an old memory card in it and it read that memory card just fine. I have pictures on there that i dont want to lose and i tried putting them on my computer but it says i didnt take any pictures..I know i did though because i used it t

Black LCD When I took pictures yesterday, each picture looked like it had a white fuzzy covering over it. Now when I turn the camera on the lcd stays black. But when I switch the button from camera to video it works. I also can get the previously taken pictures to show up.
I have charged and changed a couple of pairs of batteries.

As Philipp mentions, sounds like a defective CCD imager. Canon should fix this for free, including free shipping both ways. For others experiencing this problem, please check the following two links for more info:\015\012http://camerarepair.blo ...

My Pentax optio 330GS wont switch on. After pressing the ON button you get a couple of beeps and then nothing happens. The batteries are fully charged. If you gently tap the camera in your hand, sometimes the camera switches on and the lense comes out and allowing you to take pictures as normal! This camera was a birthday present and holds great sentimental value. Please help with any advice!

Two possibilities: one bad, one not so bad. If you've recently\015\012dropped the camera you've likely damaged the lens tube (housing), and\015\012the camera will require professional repair. Before you panic though,\015\012the problem that you de ...

I cannot get the pictures off the camera. When I plug it into the computer the program will not recognize this camera my canon A590. So I am unable to download my pictures. I do not have this problem with any other of my cameras. At first I thought it was the usb cable, but I have tried other cables and they do not work either. Any Ideas. I use a mac computer and Iphoto program. At times, I have gotten it to work, but now nothing. Please help thanks T Riley
